Question 1

can chlamydia cause permanent damage in men's urethra and chronic epididymitis? had chlamydia, stds are negative now, still in pain, been 5 months now

Accepted Answer

Chronic pelvic pain?: Chlamydia is not known to cause chronic epididymitis or permanent urethral damage. The cause of your symptoms depends on details not provided:  Nature of the pain? Exact location(s)? Swelling of testicles or tenderness to touch? Prostate exam? Maybe prostatitis (not an STD) or chronic pelvic pain syndrome; see Wikipedia article for more info. (Uncomfortable but not harmful.) Keep working w/ doc.

Question 2

what is the best treatment for complicated chlamydia std?azithromycin 500mg twice daily for 6 days or azithromycin 1 gm at once daily for 6 days?

Accepted Answer

Both are the same: The medication is one that binds to fat cells in your body and gradually enters the blood stream hourly.The 2 dosing patterns you list are not significantly different when you factor in the way the drug works.Some have less stomach upset when dividing up the doses.

Question 3

swollen lymph node left side of groin. not tender to touch, but cramping comes &goes. increased urination. no other symptoms.not gon or chlamydia.std?

Accepted Answer

Swollen lymph node: Schedule an appointment with your doctor or gynecologist to determine why you have a lymph node in an uncommon place

Question 4

i have chlamydia. my std 2 months ago was negative. me and my husband are not cheating on each other. where does the chlamydia come from now?

Accepted Answer

3 possibilities: 1. The test 2 months ago was a false negative result (very common)
2. The current test was false positive (very uncommon)
3. You have been reinfected by your partner.  

There is no other way to contract vaginal chlamydia.

Question 5

help please. could cypro (cyproheptadine) cure the std chlamydia?

Accepted Answer

No: 'cypro' (cyproheptadine) is a drug that blocks the receptors for histamine and serotonin. It is commonly used to treat allergies. It does not have any activity against the organism that causes chlamydia. You may be confusing it with 'cipro' (ciprofloxacin), which is an antibiotic. Cipro does have some effect on chlamydia, though other antibiotics are used to treat it most often.

Question 6

i got some curable std (chlamydia etc) tests on my own and are awaiting results. do i have to get my results? what if one doesn't want the results at this time?

my partner and i would rather go together in about a week.

Accepted Answer

Are you serious???: You have been tested but don&#x27;t want the results because it will interfere with upcoming sexual plans? What about a lifetime of remorse (for her, maybe you) if chlamydia or gonorrhea makes her infertile? Now tested, you are ethically obligated to get the results and tell your partner. If you have symptoms (e.g. discharge) you must tell her now, before the results. Don&#x27;t screw around with this.

Question 7

someone help please! can conjunctivitis caused by chlamydia cause the std chlamydia?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The eye infection is caused the same organism that causes the genital infection.  It is spread from the genitalia to the eyes by exposure to the fluids from there.

Question 8

positive chlamydia test, no std's before and all negative one year ago. if i've only had one sex partner for years- does this mean i got it from them?

Accepted Answer

Yes, most likely: If you tested positive for chlamydia, then you and your partner need to be treated so you do not get reinfected,

Question 9

does macrobid cure chlamydia or other std ?

Accepted Answer

Macrobid: Not reliably.  Macrobid  is not a wide spectrum antibiotic.  See your gyn provider for treatment.

Question 10

okay so, i just found out that i might have an std (chlamydia). i gave birth to my child a month ago.. how can this affect my child?? he seems and looks healthy however, i am very worried!

Accepted Answer

? Chlamydia ?: I am assuming that you bring the child to a doctor. Mention your concerns. If you had chlamydia at the time of delivery the child could have developed eye findings and that would have been noted and treated.  The other presentation is that of pneumonia. Both of these conditions can be treated but you must must mention your concerns to the child's doctor and you and father get treated too pronto!!
